Overview

A growth-stage SaaS company had validated demand for an enterprise project management tool that bridges the gap between high-level portfolio planning and day-to-day task execution. Existing tools forced teams to choose between strategic oversight and granular task management, leading to misalignment and missed deadlines.

We built a comprehensive project management suite that connects portfolio-level goals to team sprints and individual tasks. The platform features Gantt charts, kanban boards, resource management, time tracking, and AI-powered project health scoring — all unified in a real-time collaborative workspace.

The Challenge

Multi-Level Planning

Support portfolio, program, project, and task-level planning with real-time rollup of status, timelines, and resource allocation across all hierarchy levels.

Real-Time Performance

Deliver sub-100ms response times for complex Gantt charts with 10,000+ tasks, dependencies, and real-time updates from multiple concurrent users.

Extensibility

Build a platform that enterprises can customize with custom fields, workflows, automations, and integrations without requiring engineering resources.

Global Scale

Serve 5,000+ teams across 40+ countries with data residency requirements, multiple languages, and varying compliance needs.

1

GraphQL Federation Architecture

Designed a federated GraphQL API using Golang that enables efficient data fetching across projects, tasks, resources, and time entries. Batch loading and query optimization ensure complex views load in under 100ms.

AI Project Health Scoring

Implemented an ML model that analyzes project velocity, scope changes, resource utilization, and historical patterns to predict project health and flag at-risk initiatives.
